Apartments with Balcony Pools in Mumbai.......... (Do we really give overseas aid here?)

There does seem some weird stuff going on behind the scenes.........might just be my conspiratorial tendency of course!

Great minds GGG, great minds! Doh.........

Someone had to do it.................... http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/londonspy/mystery-solved-why-sand-doesn-t-stick-beach-202829395.html

Nice one……….. http://twitter.com/sammcknight1/status/233294409519755265/photo/1

Thought that was what we used to play at the old Top Club...............

Standard and Poor's just put Greece on negative watch and maybe that doesn't mean anything to most people but this bit will. All the austerity and cuts and sells offs were supposed to achieve a 4.3 per cent decrease in GDP this year, followed by flat growth in 2013 and 2.3 per cent growth in 2014. S&P have released their reasons for their downgrade and this is it: We project GDP will contract by 10%-11% cumulatively during 2012-2013, versus the negative 4%-5% assumed by the EU/IMF Program for 2012-2013. Or double what the financial geniuses at the ECB, IMF etc forecast. Plus the vast majority of Greek debt is now in public hands so any write-downs will affect public programmes in the contributing countries. Well either that or more money printing has to ensue. Cutbacks in the Greek the economy has had the expected (by some!) effect of knocking production and growth into a cocked hat so debt cannot be repaid by earnings only more austerity and sells offs. This is really economics 101……I wonder if there isn't a picture we aren't seeing here, maybe about American control of the Med area? I feel more hurriedly organised summits are about to be seen…………..

Whot..........being just a young'un in 58 or 59 or being just a young'un now?

Standard Chartered...........this looks like one to run and run. Smells a bit of DSK to me and could be the Yanks trying to wrestle brokerage back to NY! Just hope someone somewhere breaks ranks and spills the juicy stuff.

Its manufacturing which makes countries financially independent and stable, well at the very least a sizeable manufacturing sector making a mixed economic base anyway. For service sector read public sector in that argument! Not sure many of the politicos could hold down REAL jobs, or at least jobs the hoi polloi would recognise as real! Agreed Nigel MUST be super clean or someone would have leaked something. Not so sure about Boris and these genuine people...........wasn't it his second in command in London who was forced to resign, against Boris's wishes? And lets not forget he got a load of heavies to beat up his old partner in crime! Nice affable clown............

Why don't we have Thorium reactors? Only reason………..can't make bombs out of it! Who controls UK energy policy these days……………EDF. (Electricity De France!) This country needs a dammed good shake to wake itself up!

Wind farms..........

Maybe we should stop electing millionaires as community representatives?

Well well......... http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/londonspy/team-gb-success-leaves-french-perplexed-104810081.html

Doggie Bagshaw.............look it up GGG you might wish you were at Oxford with her! Come on, what do these people think the job is about..........£100K+ for part time work? I hope Nigel can be persuaded to run for her seat, now that would give Dave palpitations! One of the most disgusting trough busters lately was the fact that we are paying nearly 1 million quid for Cleggy's advisers??????? Shot down on PR, shot down on Lords reform....owt else they can think up to crucify their boss with!!!! Dave must now be seen to be in bed with nefarious business interests and must watch out for Boris........Nick has been a disaster to his party which now has fewer members than anyone would think possible. The Millepede brothers have extra chromosomes and Harriet is just toxic! Yvette and Ed look to be making a play.......... Looking good for Nigel and UKIP I would say if he can get Europe centre stage! I wouldn't care he was one of the people I would have hanging off lamp-posts......... being a financial trader!

Should be a great day out for all the family. Sept 1st.pdf

It was maybe meant as a legacy song.........coz we can sure as sure can be sing it now!

Or to give the ones around here and the proposed ones their proper name...........CON-Cordias

Neither does Sir Fred now.............

I think I would be taking everything I had out of RBS................ If it does go bits up will Sir Fred be chased for his ill gotten gains?

Funnily enough I spelt it with an 'a' the first time I wrote it down then changed to an 'i'..........and my spellchecker does the same!

"Behind Winston's back the voice from the telescreen was still babbling away about pig-iron and the overfulfilment of the Ninth Three-Year Plan. The telescreen received and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it, moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard."

Got a Kodak Instimatic somewhere.............

Look out for some "interesting” news off RBS this next week. Looks like Gideon has leaked the bad news to get the Nationalisers out of the closet and give them a good whipping. I hope it blows up in his smug little face!
